The family has been using the fingerprint lock that I bought on Taobao for 18 years. Although there is no major problem, I have encountered many problems in the fingerprint recognition. It may be the problem of the old fingerprint recognition ability. The fingerprint recognition rate of the fingerprints of the elderly and children is very low. , Generally, we use IC cards to open the door. When the child started to go to school, the spare cards in the school bag for her have lost several cards. Taobao needs 20 IC cards to replace the matching IC card. I think it is better to replace it directly Compared with the old optical fingerprint lock, the semiconductor fingerprint lock with a stronger recognition rate has a higher cost, a higher recognition rate, and is more convenient for the elderly and children to use. Since there are more Mijia ecological chain products used at home, so In the Mijia family, Yunmi’s new AI smart door lock eLink 2C is selected. It is connected through a Bluetooth gateway and uses a semiconductor fingerprint collector. At the same time, it can be connected to the Mijia APP to link with other products in the home.
The packaging box of Yunmi AI smart door lock eLink 2C is made of corrugated paper. There is an icon of the door lock on the box, and there is a logo supporting the Mijia ecological chain in the lower left corner. The main selling points include Bluetooth distribution network, electronic doorbell and Multiple security protections, etc.

Yunmi official provides free door-to-door installation service. Make an appointment by scanning the QR code of the official appointment. After filling in the original door lock situation and some basic information, the installer will make an appointment for the installation time in advance for door-to-door service.
Originally, I thought if I could install it myself and try it out, but after asking the customer service, it was suggested that there may be cutting modifications, etc., it would be more appropriate to let the installer do the door-to-door service.
